Entanglement-based quantum key distribution without an entangled-photon source
Quantum key distribution ~QKD! has been studied extensively as a means to realize unconditionally secure communication systems. Two legal parties ~Alice and Bob! create a secret key, security of which against eavesdropping is guaranteed by the law of quantum mechanics, and use it as a one-time pad for encrypting messages. Following the first proposal that used four nonorthogonal states @Benneet...
متن کاملPerformance of photon-pair quantum key distribution systems
We analyze the quantitative improvement in performance provided by a novel quantum key distribution (qkd) system that employs a correlated photon source (cps) and a photon-number resolving detector (pnr). Our calculations suggest that given current technology, the cps/pnr implementation offers an improvement of several orders of magnitude in secure bit rate over previously described implementat...

متن کاملEntanglement Based Quantum Key Distribution Using a Bright Sagnac Entangled Photon Source
We report on improvements in an entangled free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) system by replacing the original non-collinear type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) polarization entangled photon source with a new brighter Sagnac interferometric entangled photon source. While the SPDC source was integral to the initial setup of the system, it was limited in photon pair produc...
متن کاملNarrowband photon pair source for quantum networks.
We demonstrate a compact photon pair source based on a periodically poled lithium niobate nonlinear crystal in a short cavity. This approach provides efficient, low-loss, mode selection that is compatible with standard telecommunication networks. Photons with a coherence time of 8.6 ns (116 MHz) are produced and their purity is demonstrated. A source brightness of 134 pairs (s. mW. MHz)(-1) is ...
